     @coolboymew My fam and I had one of these kettles where you could adjust the temp, they're great until the planned obsolescence of the electronics kicks in.
     Now I just want a simple stainless steel kettle I can put on a camp fire if needed.

     @why yeah, but when it comes to Chinese specific noname brand, the quality of electronics is usually very bad. Then again the quality of everything is very bad lately

     Even the 100$ Ninja electric Kettle apparently fucking leaks in some cases, and apparently their customer service will illegally ask you to pay up for warranty according to the reviews
